rats in the cradle with silver spoon

why can u not ever fix my chess mentor u think im kidding or jokeing around or something, u realy need to get ur act together this is uncalled for.

Maybe if you actually explained the problem your having and asked nicely for help, someone might help you. Spamming threads isn't going to get you anywhere.

how am i spamming threads i am trying to get help this help/support right n how have i not been nice to anyone tell n ill change cause all in there a bunch of people make jokes n stuff n they know more than i do im just sweet n innocent n stand in the corner

n i have explained the problemm over n over  but see i dont know as much as these guys like i said n u or them dont understand

I'd love to help. What's wrong the chessmentor?

well KANSHA DARLING purrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr but picking there but seriously when i first started i could understand how it might do this but i changed over to premium n it should be different but u know where ur supposed to get better i feel like it some kind of tomfoolery going on cause it stays flat lined n last night i got it to go down n ive been doing good n even my rating in there was over 14 n nowaround 13 why what am i doing or can u fix it

ok ididnt know sry, wow

With chess mentor, not all of the lessons will change your score. This seems especially true with the ones that are at your current rating because the rating system expects you to get those correct. So 100% on those will add zero points. 

In my experience, (have completed several hundred lessons) it's best to just keep doing the next lesson and eventually you will reach one where your 100% will be rewarded with an increase in rating points.

well tyvm ltm thats all i was asking for an explination a reson ty partner i realy respect that answer, question: if ive done several hundred why am i not getting better

question: if ive done several hundred CHESS MENTORS N IM DOING GOOD  why am i not any getting better

Thank you for your kind words and good attitude in your post. When I read something like that it really makes me want to share anything I can to help or try to locate the answer or someone with the answer if it's above my paygrade. 

My best guess on your chess mentor question would be that you may have taken some courses that have helped you improve in areas that aren't showing up in your games just yet because you have yet to correct certain other weaknesses in your game that you have yet to encounter lessons on in chess mentor.

I'll give you a hypothetical example for the sake of discussion, but it won't seem realistic because we will oversimplify it for argument's sake to help convey the point easier.

For example, if all you've done in chess mentor is several hundred end game lessons that you passed with a score of 100% and you're getting slaughtered in the openings when you play your games, then the obvious answer would be you would need to keep doing the chess mentor lessons but work on the lessons that have to do with your biggest weaknesses, which in this caricaturish example, would be the opening phase of your game.

So logically, it would stand to reason that when you switched the content of your lessons in your chess mentor settings to address aforementioned weaknesses, your newfound knowledge will translate into actual playing strength and rating increases.

Does this make good sense to you too?

yes ltm, it does in a way n humm well maybe kinda sorta well naybe not kinda way, cause chess mentor doesnt let u work on exactly what u need when u need it u have to do all the lessons in a set program first.

Not true.  You don't have to do the sequential/adaptive dance unless you want to.  Instead of clicking on the big orange square "start training" look to the right and click on "view courses".  See a tasty course, try it.  Not to your taste?  Try another.  Rinse and repeat.  Any and all of the nearly 4,000 lessons is available to you.  Have fun! 

but bad, if u dont know what the lessons mean n intell u to do hows that helping, thats what ive been trying to   express to every1 but i just didnt know how so ty mr. bad. i tell u what lets talk abt it just u n me 1 on 1 well no strike that last one sry i dont stray far from the herd is that bad i may have said the wrong thing if i did im sry it was unintentional n unavoidable again i am sry

I wish I were more fluent in ratatouiespeak but I gather that you're unhappy with the CM explanations?  Or is it that you don't have a clue what course to start with?  The newer courses are a little more consistent in giving good explanations so I'd click on one of the beginner courses on the first or second page(the default listing is newest first) and just try and do the course.  Most of the introductory course on tactics, openings, checkmate patterns, etc. are only 10 or 15 lessons long.  Do the course over and over again until you can consistently score 100% on all the lessons.  Then either move on to the next course in the series or try another beginner course.  Not rocket science but it does take consistent focused effort.  Best of luck to you!

I remember there was a guy in the forums who was refering to everybody as cockroaches. Mostly because he was using Tony Montana as his avatar. You couldn't understand him either. It was cockroach this, cockroach that.

I Hope this is not the same guy. If he is, he is slowly making an evolutionary ascent up the cellular ladder. 

 hey lild im innocent of all charges
